UTILIZING THE SCRAPS.
Nothing Allowed to Go to Waste In These
Days of Enterprise.

Duys VI Ehtorprtsos
Every resident can recollect the i'm
mense piles of waste tin from the can
shops that used to glitter in the hol-
lows of East Baltimore and upon every
dump in that section a dozen years
ago. The first use of this waste was
by a poor man from the North who OBJ
tanned permission to set up machine
in Smith g. Wicks' can shop in this
city. Here he bought scraps for al
most nothing, and cut out tin button
stock to send East Afterward the
stamps for shaping the buttons were
introduced, and the individual reaped
a large fortune from the enterprise.
The next use of tin scrap was for
smelling. The tin at first refused
to flow when subjected to the heat
of the furnace. 1t was discovered
that it would pay to cut the tin coat
ing chemically, and that the shect-iron
would then smelt and flow. Out of
this grew the manufacture of SASH
weights, and few of them are now
found that are not made from tin
scrap. Several foundries use all that
is made. The scrap was pounded into
wads by stamping it in large buckets.
A most interesting feature of all
businesses using leather is tina. not
one particle of the leather is wasted.
Our shoe factories sell annually fifty
tons of waste, This goes mainly to a
firm in Philadelphia, who pay seven
dollars a ton for it. A large amount
is sent to Lynn, Mass, and other
points, where the leather is ground up,
mixed with a medium, and pressed
into buttons. The remainder that is
not so used is treated chemically,
turned into a gelatinous mass, dried
and ground into fertilizing dust. The
sole leather pieces that fall from the
block of the heel stamper are sorted
into two heaps. The very small pieces
are put with the fine waste. The
scraps, presenting the surface of a
couple of square inches, are barrelled
up and sold to parties in New York or
Boston at one cent pound, where
they are put through peculiar ma
chine. This instrument splits the
pieces nearly through. Then it opens
the piece thus cut like book. Thence
it is delivered from between the roll
ers, and is large enough to be again
sent to the factory to be cut up into
heel lifts.
There is another small but important
industry which goes to prove how or
binary wastes of business may be
turned to account. This is work OF
long standing. though not generally
known. In every photograph gallery
there is annually large amount Of
waste silvered paper. This is all
thrown into box, and is bought OF
exchanged for nitrate of silver. The
comparatively small amount collected
in one gallery aggregates great mas:
when all the galleries are considered.
This paper is burned, and the silver
that is extracted from the residue pays
sufficiently at least for good living
The time was, not very remote, too
when the coal tar from gas houses wa

bit of the tar is utilized, and some o.

LESSONS FROM NATURE.

o. mani with cares OF life distraught,
And schemes and intrigues dreary;
D, womanl worn with social rounds,
Or overworked and weary
Come forth, and let the. stirring air
Smooth from your brow the lines OF care.
Let the sweet perfume OF the flowers.
The breezes softly blowing,
ihe gushing laughter of the rills,
From rock to meadows going,
sweep from your yearts the fevered heat,
AND leave them pure and calm and sweet
The hill and vale, with varied voice
OF purity, are telling;
The tale is waited on the breeze,
And in the brook is yelling;
While clear and cool, on airs OF morn,
The breezy sounds of life are borne.
In giddy life and civil strife
The loving heart is shrunken;
Unselfshness is dried away;
The soul in self grows drunken;
But look on field and food and see
Their quiet love and harmony
Man, fretful, hurries through his work,
Nervous and worn and weary,
And looks with eager heart for rest
From duties tlresome, dreary;
But Natures swelling, bounding heart
Longs In the world to do its part.
The mind OF man little does,
With Earring and commotion;
But Natures broader plans are wrought
With noiseless, pure devotion;
Through babbling brook and songster glee
Her thoughts work out in harmony.
The little blades across the field
Each hour the same are springing;
No change Is wrought from day TO day,
To tell Of harvest bringing:
But when the season comes again,
The fields are bowed with waving grain.
The tiny bud with leaflets green,
The self-same bud is seeming,
Yet, opening slow, the leaves disclose
The crimson petals cleaning,
Until the perfumed, blushing rose
Full in the dewy morning CLOVIS.
The sparkling brook on mountain bed
From rock to rock is flowing;
II drinks the rills along its path,
But scarce is wider growing,
Yet, sweeping boundless through the plain,
As mighty river meets the main.
o, might the floods Of grief for wrong
Cleanse human hearts forever,
And through their soiled and dusty paths
Sweep down as in a river,
That, when the clouds have cleared away,
Might break the calm and odorous day;
That modesty and peace and Joy
Devotion purely springing,
Might watt their perfume on the air
OF loving breezes winging,
And sweet in human hearts be born
A clear and cool and dewy morn.
o, that man might with bounding breath
To daily tasks be going,
The gushing waters of his soul
In labor overlooking.
His mind be fresh, his limbs be free
To work with tireless energy.
Then would his plans adjust themselves,
Nolonger iarring. grating,
With silent force and harmony
Work out his wishes, waiting,
And all his powers would be In frame
To praise his great Creators name.

OUT OF THE WOODS.
"Thou Art Not Alone If Thou

"Alone in the worldr' These are
the words that we can imagine might
belong to an old. old man, who had
outlived all the darlings of his youth

She was sitting in the library of an
isolated country house, beside writ

she was not reading. Her head was
leaning upon her hand. her face was
pale, her eyelids swollen as with long
weeping, and she sighed deeply, as she
said aloud, in the despair of desola-
ton: "Alone in the worldn'
Instantly, as if her heart had anti
phonal voices, and one spoke in an
swer to the other, this sentence sprang
from memory: Thou art not alone
if thou hast faith" Whose these
words of wisdom were, or whether
they were wise, she did not pause to
consider. She was too miserable for
wisdom.

faith"
She lifted herself from her dropping
posture, and, going to the window,
